PS Vita 64GB Memory Card $82 + ship- Playasia

I had my order ship from yesasia at the end of january and I still haven't received it. I'm praying the port strike had something to do with it.

 
Has anyone had issues swapping meory cards? I bought a 64gb and now that I am trying to switch back to my original 16gb its claiming that it needs to be formatted. I did eject it while the system was on, as I always did with the PSP, but I wasn't doing anything. Is that really enough to corrupt a card? Is there any way to back them up without the system?

Probably screwed since you took it out with the system powered on. Can't do that. No hotswapping of Memory Cards allowed. The PSP Vita doesn't even handle switching Memory Cards normally (with the system powered off) well. When you change Memory Cards, it takes the PSP Vita a good 5mins+ "Rebuilding The Database" when you turn it back on. This is why having multiple Memory Cards isn't really a viable option on the PSP Vita... and 64gb isn't big enough sadly... heck the Patches for Physical Games are 1-2gbs each sometimes! This is reason #1 why the PSP Vita has failed for the most part.

Wasn't that when it was like 83 shipped? I'm low on cash right now but after some thinking Amazon seems like it's worth the 7 bucks if you have prime.

I ordered mine from Amazon 2 months ago, and they flew it into JFK (no shipping port required). It took about 4 weeks for me to get it. It sat in customs for a few weeks before USPS delivered it.

I think it was $81 with a promo code shipped. I don't have prime. Never could afford it.

So perhaps Amazon isn't the best when it comes to this stuff. Either way that is how it is dealing with 3rd party sellers. That certainly calms me down a bit from my order. So things like this do happen.

 
$80 range seems like the prevailing rate for this card.  If it would only drop to 60 or something, I would probably buy one...

Didn't you choose one that was fulfilled by Amazon? They have these in their warehouses here in the US so you shouldn't have to deal with customs.

 
I wonder if someone can make an adapter that takes MicroSD/TransFlash cards... that would certainly upset the market. I guess it's illegal, though.

The size is too similar methinks. Wouldn't be able to make an adapter big enough for microsd and small enough to fit in the vita.
